Propane tanks up to 20 lbs. are accepted at the McLeod Rd. Transfer Station and at community collection events. Tanks up to 100 lbs. are accepted at the Orange County Landfill.

Before you bring your household hazardous waste to a community collection event or a facility: use up any material that is still usable. Label the material. If you do not know what the material is, label it "unknown." Don't mix different or unknown materials together. Pack leaking containers in a larger container with absorbent material, such as kitty litter, to soak up leaks. Use boxes with dividers for easy packaging and transport.
